摘要
We present Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph observations of ESO 184-G82, the host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst GRB 980425 associated with the peculiar Type Ic supernova SN 1998bw. ESO 184-G82 is found to be an actively star-forming SBc subluminous galaxy. We detect an object consistent with being a point source within the astrometric uncertainty of 0."018 of the position of the supernova. The object is located inside a star-forming region. The object is greater than or equal to1 mag brighter than expected for the supernova based on a simple radioactive decay model. This implies either a significant flattening of the light curve or a contribution from an underlying star cluster.
